    couple of questions

    My first one is I want to paint the insides of my rotors on my bike. I dont have any access to any kind of paint sprayer. Would I be able to use some kind of high temp spray paint?


    And my second question is I have posted before regarding my broken exhaust bolt. I know some have stated different ways of getting it out. I was at Lowes tonight buying my stuff for getting my fork seals out thanks for the good idea steve . I seen a bolt extractor set made by kobalt. Would this be worth trying or should I just try drilling it out and re-tapping the hole.

    Thanks for any and all ideas guys.
    I didnt do it I swear !!

    I'd drill and retap. Center punch the broken screw first and start with a small hole and work upwards making sure you stay in the center of the broken screw. LH drill bits are reputed to work well since as the bolt heats up from drilling it may spin right out (hopefully).

      Dont let me talk you out of it. Id try it, but remember.....

      EZ Outs have a tendency to break. You have to have a real feel for them. They are made of hard steel and if it does break you cant drill it out. Only option then is to weld a nut on to the broken stud.

      R U using penetrating oil ? Try Aero Kroil. http://www.kanolabs.com/

        Strip them with some aircraft stripper, tape them off and hit them with Dupli-color engine enamel.

          I believe that I have tried to explain this before...
          left-hand drill bits.

              Bolt extractors are the surest path to heartbreak and tears. Don't do it, man. They're the devil.

              I almost hate to mention this, but Harbor Freight has some left-handed drill bits that somehow seem to work pretty well. Their normal drill bits sure aren't worth a hoot, though.

                What he said. Or use VHT caliper paint. I etch primed, too.
